This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is ASE80X5B — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the ASE80X5B in place of this model. The ACE replacement is a current-production ISO 21287 compact cylinder in the same bore, stroke and force class, with a matching short body and the same mounting-accessory family, so it fits the same envelope. Confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before ordering.
Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5B
The AirTAC Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5B is a single acting, push (spring return) DIN-standard tight/compact air cylinder with a Ø80mm bore and 5mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and a hard-anodized aluminium body. This model is discontinued — the current-production replacement is the ASE80X5B (ISO 21287 ACE), in the same bore, stroke and force class.

About the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5B
A single acting push cylinder with spring return, the ASP80X5B uses shop air to extend its 20 mm rod and an internal spring to retract it, so one air line is all the plumbing a machine needs. The 80 mm bore delivers 2316.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 3321.5 N at 0.7 MPa, both figures already net of the return spring. At 5 mm stroke this is a clamp-and-eject actuator, not a travel cylinder, and it needs at least 0.2 MPa to overcome the spring. The body is a hard-anodized aluminium compact build that saves roughly 50% of the mounting length of an ISO 15552 profile cylinder, which is why it slots into tight press fixtures and guarding where a full-length body will not fit.
For sizing, treat about 1390 N (roughly 141 kg of force) as the realistic working output at 0.5 MPa, or plan on lifting about 118 kg vertically with a 2:1 margin. The B code gives a male rod thread, the port is 1/4" because the bore is 80 mm, and a fixed TPU bumper at each end absorbs end-of-travel shock. This model is discontinued: the current-production replacement is the ASE80X5, a drop-in successor in the same bore, stroke and force class - confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions before swapping.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC ACP datasheet (now discontinued). The ASE80X5B (ISO 21287) carries the same bore/stroke/force class; confirm mounting-interface dimensions against the ACE datasheet before installation. Rod type: female thread (blank) or male thread (B). Thread options: PT (blank) / G.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø80mm)
| Pressure | Push force (spring return) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 2316.2 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 3321.5 N |
Single-acting push: air extends the rod; the return spring retracts it. Forces already net the spring; minimum working pressure is 0.2 MPa.

Where the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5B Is Used
Press-fit clamping
The 2316.2 N net push at 0.5 MPa clamps aluminum housings in a 5 mm-window machining fixture, with the spring clearing the part the moment air drops.
Bottle-filling gate
A short 5 mm stroke is ideal for sliding a fill-nozzle gate in and out on a beverage line at up to 500 mm/s, one solenoid valve, one air line.
Pallet stopper
Drops a heavy-duty stop blade under roller-conveyor pallets; the spring retracts the stop automatically if the plant loses air.
Replacing the Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5B with the ASE80X5B
Size from the load: at 0.5 MPa this bore pushes 2316.2 N net of the spring, enough for heavy clamps and short-stroke ejection; if the job needs only about 875 N, a 50 mm bore does it cheaper, and for over 3600 N step up to the 100 mm bore. Remember the spring drives the rod home on air loss, so the cylinder cannot hold a mid-stroke position. Mounting brackets and the optional -S magnet (for CMSE / DMSE switches) must be ordered with the code. Order the ASE80X5 instead - this ASP is discontinued.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Current-production ACE → ASE80X5B
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force class
- ✓ Confirm ISO 21287 mounting dimensions
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT / G)
- ✓ Add -S for magnet if you need sensors
Airtac ASP Single Acting Guided Compact Cylinder ASP80X5B FAQ
It is single acting push, spring return, so the quoted forces are already net of the spring: 2316.2 N of push at 0.5 MPa and 3321.5 N at 0.7 MPa on the 80 mm bore. Working pressure is 0.2-1.0 MPa (28-145 psi) with 1.5 MPa (215 psi) proof, speed 50-500 mm/s, and the 1/4" port follows the bore. Keep real working loads near 1390 N (about 141 kg equivalent) for margin.
The B code specifies a male rod thread on the 20 mm rod; without it the rod end is female. The ASP80X5B is discontinued, so order the ASE80X5 - the same bore, stroke and force class in the current ISO 21287 compact family - and confirm the ISO 21287 mounting dimensions against your fixture first. FA/FB flange, LB foot and CA/CB clevis brackets bolt to the same face pattern.
